December 18, 2024Dec 18 13 hours ago, Dougal said: Cafe 8, a Capitol Hill bar, a couple blocks north of the Marine Barracks on 8th Street, S.E., has banned patrons under 30 years of age. Citing noise, rowdiness, and crime, the owners said the young folks business wasn't worth it. The city says is probably counter to DC access laws; but, because of our adversarial justice system, they are waiting for a complaint in order to act. Maybe the restaurant should simply raise prices and then offer a senior discount to those over 30. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/12/17/dc-restaurants-bans-young-patrons/ There's three key ways to keep rowdiness and the rowdy crowd to a minimum in a bar. 1) Close at least an hour before the government mandated time. 2) Most places have TouchTunes or similar jukeboxes now, but the venue can filter them by musical genre. 3) Don't serve the brands of liquor that the problem children prefer. This will aid in employee retention as well.
December 25, 2024Dec 25 Gears with a prime number of teeth last longer. Actually I think its meshing gears whose numbers of teeth do not share a common denominator, but prime number makes the same sense. Otherwise some teeth will wear much fasted. A prime number distributes the wear evenly. Just one of those little factoids I find fascinating. Apologies if you don't. Merry Christmas. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

And they are comfortable in retirement so buy themselves things they need/want all year long. I've exhausted all the Omaha Steaks, Hickory Farms and other holiday delivered food gifts.

I ended up getting them a Ninja air fryer/toaster/oven, after I realized it was something they actually did not have and would use...
February 4Feb 4 Is there were a way to donate anonymously to charities? About 20 years ago I gave some money to a school that was severely damaged by a storm. The school has been bombarding me with frequent and unwelcome appeals for more ever since. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
February 4Feb 4 Heard in court this morning from an Irish attorney, very lightly paraphrased: Judge: So you're asking that this deadline be set for around March 15. That's a Saturday. Let's make it March 17, that's the Monday after. Atty: Judge, can we make it March 18? March 17 is a holiday. Judge, surprised: [turns to look at court calendar] Wait, is it? Atty: It is to my people, Your Honor. Judge: Oh. Right. March 18 it is.

February 12Feb 12 This came up in my FB memories. I was gunna post this in the CWRU thread but I decided to here. College was a very different world in the early to mid 80s than it was today. "During the early 1980s, the fraternities and sororities at #CWRU held an annual competition called "#GreekWeek". One of the more notorious events was called the #BeerRelay. It was a race around the main quad (yes, really) involving running, jumping, etc...chugging beers at frequent intervals. Imagine this applied to an iconic #WinterOlympics event. What would the TV ratings be for the #BeerBiathlon?"

The thing is, this is Arabia. The land of “inshallah”. Which means there the same thing “mañana” does in Latin America, except without the sense of urgency.
